Very impressive!! Takes the term "all singing all dancing" into a new dimension... What kind of capacity is the chip box?

I know by your threads you've waited a long time on this project.

Good on you mate....

Thanks ti Off top of my head it is around 9 cube it changed a few times through the build

Well mine's now back on the road. It goes like stink... well relatively speaking at least, since the brakes are no longer stuck on.

 

I find cab comfort (again relative) means keeping it down below 2400rpm. Anything over that is ear defender time. I've been out on a couple of ten mile drives since it's done and am getting my love for it back. If I'm honest I was beginning to get a little miffed with the whole idea when it was on stands on the drive!

 

I also got the lift arms and hydraulics in over the last week or so. It has a small leak so needs a new steel pipe on the rams, but that's no big deal.

How much chip can you fit in the back of a U1600

How longs a piece of string?

 

Depends how big your chip box is it...

10k gross weight on a U1600 Chris, so rather a lot of chip !

Mine holds around 6.5 cube I think, when full it adds 3tonne to the vehicle weight, so at least three time more than a transit.

Now obviously I know the benefits of a U1650 over the u1600, other than manoeuvreability are there any other down sides to the '50'

Huck where did you buy your U1600 from?

1650's are better for many things, their extra length means the carry weight better and are more stable when towing, I would struggle with one round here because many places are very tight to get into.
